Belmond Khwai River Lodge

Belmond Khwai River Lodge is a comfortable permanent lodge is beautifully situated alongside the Khwai River. The game-viewing here can be very strong during the Jun/Oct dry season, with a special reputation for elephants, lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and wild-dogs. The lodge itself offers an unusual level of conventional comforts including aircon in the tents.

The main potential downsides at Belmond Khwai River Lodge are the high prices, the heavy and outdated build of the lodge, variable service levels and the fact that you are likely to encounter significant vehicle traffic whilst out on safari, which slightly reduces the sense of wilderness. There is also likely to be much weaker wildlife viewing during the Nov/Apr green season and the potential for flood failure some years.
